Guide to Respiratory Protection
Guide to Ear Protection
It is important to consider the type and level of contaminants to which workers will be exposed. Once you have properly evaluated the airborne hazards in the workplace, you can begin to choose dust masks based on their FFP rating below.
It is important to control the amount of noise hitting your ears to avoid long term damage.
The SNR measurement (Single Number Rating) shows the number of decibels the hearing protection will reduce the noise level by, when fitted correctly.
When noise reaches 80 decibels hearing protection must be made available to employees.
SNR protection is as follows;
23dB - Ear Muff 27dB - Banded Ear Plugs 34dB - Ear Plugs
PACKAGING STATES PROTECTION LEVELProtection Factor
